Standing Seam Roofing in Dublin

Standing seam is the clean, modern metal roof you see on the best new extensions and architect-designed homes. Long panels joined by raised seams, with no fixings on show, in zinc, aluminium or copper. It stays watertight on low pitches that slate and tile can’t manage, and it lasts for decades. Fitted by a family firm of skilled roofers since 1969.

The metals

Zinc, aluminium or copper?

Standing seam is the system, the way the metal is folded and joined. The metal you fold it from sets the look, the lifespan and the cost. Here’s the honest difference.

Zinc

The classic standing-seam metal. A soft grey that weathers to a natural protective patina, a layer that forms on the surface and shields it. Premium look, long life, low upkeep.

Aluminium

Lightweight and rust-proof, in a wide range of powder-coated colours like anthracite grey. It stands up well to coastal and exposed sites, and suits sharp modern designs.

Copper

The standout choice. Warm and bright when new, weathering to a green patina over the years. For feature roofs and homes that want to be noticed

What's included

Our standing seam service

From a single extension roof to a full architectural project, we form and fit the lot.

  • Standing seam roofs in zinc, aluminium, copper or coated steel
  • Roofs, extensions, dormers and flat-to-pitched transitions
  • Low-pitch roofs that slate and tile can’t be laid on
  • Curved and tapered roofs, since the panels bend to complex shapes
  • Formed and seamed on site with concealed fixings, so nothing pierces the surface to leak
  • Laid over a proper insulated warm-deck build-up, so the roof is warm and quiet
  • Matching wall and façade cladding to carry the look down the building
  • A written, fixed price before any work, and workmanship cover

What it costs

Standing seam roof cost in Dublin

Standing seam is a premium roof, dearer upfront than tile or felt, and it earns it with a long life, low upkeep and a look that lifts the whole building. What moves the price most is the metal you choose (coated steel through to copper), the size and complexity of the roof, whether there are curves or tricky junctions, the insulated build-up underneath, and the access. Use the calculator for a guide, then book a free survey and we’ll put a fixed price in writing.

What affects the price

  • Metal: coated steel, zinc, aluminium or copper
  • Roof size and how complex the shape is
  • Curves, tapers and difficult junctions
  • The insulated warm-deck build-up
  • Access and scaffolding

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Direct answers from an experienced, hands-on roofing professional.

A metal roof made of long vertical panels joined by raised seams that stand up above the surface, with the fixings hidden underneath. Because the joins sit above the water line and nothing pierces the surface, it’s extremely weathertight, which is why it works on low pitches and modern extensions.

No, not when it’s done right. Laid over solid decking and insulation, a standing seam roof is no louder inside than a tiled one. The drumming people imagine comes from thin sheeting fixed to bare battens, which is a different thing entirely.

It works on low pitches that slate and tile can’t, which is exactly why it suits modern flat-to-pitched extensions and contemporary homes. The minimum depends on the system, and we’ll confirm the right one for your roof at the survey

Zinc is the classic premium look with a natural grey patina. Aluminium is light, rust-proof and comes in many colours, which suits coastal and modern designs. Copper is the standout, weathering to green over time. We’ll talk you through the look, the budget and what suits the building. See our zinc and copper pages.
